  1. A server list merge wouldn't effect SG's one bit. If you want to stay on Onion with your SG base etc, then that would be an option for you.

    All we're wanting is the option to move. Like you said, more options will always be a good thing.

    The solution is a server list merge. it's as simple as that.

    The only thing that would possibly change is your global handle. Everything else will be exactly the same, except for the fact, the people who don't want to stay on a dead server with their 3 friends can transfer to a more active one.

    And i'd prefer they merge them before the end of January so we can actually have some use out of the free transfers.

    Totally agree. 5 teams of 8 definitely isn't what i'd call an active server.
  4. If you actually knew me, you'd know i used the word i intentionally chose.


    So kindly take your grammar/spelling policing role elsewhere.
  5. Everything is fine EU side apparently according to a few people in this thread
  6. No it wasn't TrT, apologies for the confusion. It was aimed at the downie in denile.
  7. lulz it gets better.... How about you don't be a ***** and post on here instead?

    I actually have slots to spare, the slot on acro and HF are easy enough to get without giving up 11 seconds of recharge on hasten, and through that about, if My math is correct, 19 seconds on CP.

    That's fair enough. I was just looking at getting you enough KB protection without that 3rd blessing on CJ. Those things are silly priced.

    Kismet makes a small difference. I have actually tested it particularly and with PB running, which is something I beleive I am alone in doing, my tohit gets ground off harshly by DR. I beleive with this current build, subbing a kismet in where I have the steadfast in FA, the difference in tohit against a friend was arguably 1.3% higher. Keeping in mind that PB boosts tactic's tohit value by the total worth of 5.6 tohit and the fact that I am keeping around 1.66 global acc.

    I totally missed PB when i scanned the build last night. I agree that with PB, there's not much need for kismet, so if you do decide to take out the blessing in CJ, you have another empty slot for shout or whatever.

    Indeed Scarlet. Just a shame the other nubs think that because thier 3 regular friends are on, the servers are active.

    There is some chance that a merged server list will result in them not being, or they suddenly end up with a different name. So for now I'm happy as things are.

    A slight global name change is worth the boost in population and the chance of new friends, surely?

    Critique Pls.

    A couple of things i'll mention after a quick look, only small things that won't matter much really but i guess you'll be the judge of that.


    1) Swap the recharge Adjusted Targeting for To-hit buff/end in tactics

    2) Take a slot off hasten and CP, the 8 and 10 seconds difference isn't that important. Stick one slot on Acro for end redux and the other on Hoarfrost for a steadfast KB IO.

    3) Swap the blessing KB IO on CJ for kismet (100 mill saving)

    4) Swap one of the rech IO's on BR for end redux. It's still perma with hasten down and 13 end every 30 secs is lame.

    I would also personally drop Flash for Snow and forget about the cheap purp bonuses and add those slots onto health for more HP and recovery but that, like a lot of other things is personal preference.
  12. One re-sub does not out weigh the amount of lapsed subs though. I know 8 people who have left EU servers for US ones just this month so EU are still 7 subs down. Most of those 8 had 2 accounts so the figure would be closer to 12.
  13. Quote:
    I do agree on the whole 'server list merge' front though however I don't think it'll be until after GR that they'll make any moves, they don't want the bad press that could follow a server list merger to sully the golden light that is meant to GR.

    I think GR would be the perfect time to do a merge. Server list or an actual merge.


    Essentially, GR is truly unifying the two games so what better time to put a positive spin on it. They've merged everything else (Forums, downtimes etc) so to the gaming websites, it's the next logical step to bring all the players together.

    Just logged on 52 people on Defiant villains

    Depending on what time that was, Defiant may have more players than Onion now. I regularly see sub 40 players on vills on Onion.


    Anyone who says the EU servers aren't dead now are seriously in denile or are so scared of change, they are the folk that rage when their local supermarket moves products around. Which is amusing.

    It's about time the devs analysed the amount of accounts logging in, not the amount subscribed as the figures for EU activity as there are a fair few people subbed who don't play.

    Yes money is all they care about, but when people start cancelling subs because there's no-one to play with they'll just be left with the folk paying for vet rewards with no-one actually playing.


    *Yes this is a mini rant... I want my EU toons on Freedumb.

    -no one honors my challenge to fight under the globe in RV. When I show up and start to tell them the rules, I get stunned/held/AS'd and killed before the fight can start. Repeatedly.
    -even melee toons have phase. weak.
    -if you like to fly, people will target you with web grenades and then gang you like 5:1 when you fall.
    -when I got a kill and got a pvp recipe, they told me it was worth 200K so I sold it to a blaster for 3 mil. I found out later it was worth 800 mil. liars.
    -the lag is horrible
    -all of the players have fake names that are not in line with their origins and powersets. Like natural origin broadsword scrapers with names like 'ur a nub haha' instead of 'Leonidas'.
    -if you ask a question in broadcast people will give you wrong answers and trick you into getting killed repeatedly. IT IS NOT FUN.

    I will be transferring back as soon as possible. Hopefully all of these 'leet pvpers' will not follow.

    Omg that is so epic... Please tell us more of what you don't like.
  16. Erm... "EU invasion" comes to mind but other channel names aren't as willing to pop back into my memory. I'm not a member of any as i only PvP but i know they're out there. I'll have a think :P
  17. There's already a few channels set up for that kind of thing just so you know

    Vista help

    It was -renderthread 1 but i'm sure the devs fixed that problem so the string is no longer needed.

    Framerate

    I recently had a similar problem with my PC. After 5 minutes of play my FPS bottomed out at 15fps and wouldn't go any higher even with everything on absolute minimum.

    Turned out my processor was over heating after the 5 minutes play time due to a lack of thermal paste.

    Might be worth running a temperature program like CoreTemp to eliminate that as a cause.

    Phase Shift bug

    It's not a bug and is indeed working as intended. Kahlan is right, it's to stop players from repeatedly from phasing and perma avoiding debt.

    I guess it suppresses every temp power as well as a by-product of the Dev's stopping the temp phases.

    Put [NoPhase] in your in-game chat box.... That's the power you get given after phasing.
  21. EU accounts only work on EU servers and vice versa with US accounts but, both sets of servers use the same files so continue to download the EU version then just run the US updater.


    Definitely stick with your US account as EU servers are no where near as populated.

    elec/therm corr

    Take all your elec powers, skip everything from therm apart from warmth, pick your 4 desired pool/patron powers then go wreck* RV.




    *Advice may not result in you wrecking. Skill is needed too.

    He's from Defiant so they were probably using elec/ice or something silly.


    Defiant PvP has always been jokes.
